    Exploring the world (sound on)

    We NEED someway to hide other player's obnoxious glowing skins. It is beyond a joke

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 03:47 PM PDT

    As the title says; we desperately need someway to hide other player's obnoxious glowing skins in the Settings options. The skins have gotten so bad over the years that it's actually affecting combat; you often cannot see the boss you are targetting, or if there's an aoe on the floor you shouldn't be standing in.

    Just lowering character limit is not enough, as it does nothing to hide mounts or backpacks which are perhaps the most egregious. There are also plenty of gaudy, glowing skins in the weapon, armour, outfit, glider categories too, yet we have no way to currently hide any of these eyesores.

    It is truly sad to see how far the game has fallen aesthetically from GW1. GW2 is looking like some cheap asian mmo.

    It's got to the point where if we don't soon get some settings options, i will stop playing altogether.

    edit: even a few options like; "hide backpacks", "hide infusions", "default mounts" for other players would make a big impact on the visual clutter, and be far more immersive.

    Not the Elite Spec we might get today, but the one we deserve

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 12:55 PM PDT

    Dear ANet, since we are getting DX11 and various performance inmprovements, can we get option to limit FPS when game window is not active?

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 01:07 AM PDT

    This is really fantastic option that exists in few other games I play like FF14 or PoE. You can set an FPS cap when you alt-tab out of the game which drastically reduces CPU/GPU usage, lowering heat and noise of the system. Sometimes I'm waiting in LFG and alt-tab to browse the net or watch youtube and GW2 keeps fans running farily high when it really doesn't have to.

    Never did raids

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 12:57 AM PDT

    Are there still people willing to play raids with inexperienced players? I have looked at videos and know my skills but usually I only see Vets playing raids, leaving very few room for mistakes in them. How can I get experience if I can never stay in a group?

    [CnD] Dhuum - 4:34

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 01:00 PM PDT

    Hello Reddit,

    while skillfully ignoring the Chronomancer all-time record on Dhuum, we present a current composition that managed to reclaim the Underworld within 4:34. As always our goal was to use a fresh and unexplored setup, enjoy!

    ​

    Log — https://dps.report/8igQ-20211013-230321_dhuum

    Subgroup 1 Subgroup 2
    Scrapper (Tank) — Xyonon Scrapper — Marcin
    Soulbeast (Timer) — Pardo Berserker — Sascha
    Scourge — Misterred Scourge — Vlad
    Renegade (Alacrity) — Siky Renegade (Alacrity) — Hel
    Renegade (Might) — Sven Renegade (Might) — Pedro

    ​

    GENERAL STRATEGY

    The general strategy for this speedkill was - as per usual - to remove the Druid and replace them with a DPS class. We managed to achieve this by utilizing Barrier from Scourges, healing and damage mitigation from Scrappers and combine it with each classes innate self sustain. Furthermore, each role had some specific tasks:

    ​

    Scrappers
    Scrappers were brought for Quickness and to further increase the squad's DPS with Pinpoint Distribution. Additionally they used Sneak Gyro to stealth the Reapers and thus manipulate the pathing of the Enforcers, Deathlings and Messengers, allowing the commonly known "throne-tanking". They provided Protection for the relevant bombs and 10% phase and granted Super Speed for both that and the drain-phase as well. Their high Barrier uptime also ensured personal Writ uptime, even when tanking.

    Soulbeast
    The Soulbeast increases the squad's DPS by bringing Frost and Sun Spirit, as well as sharing Vulture Stance and One Wolf Pack. It also was in charge of doing green #2, and tagging the last two Messengers from the pre-event.

    Berserker
    The Berserker was responsible to intentionally grab the Shackles, as well as the Messenger during the Soul Split in order to keep it within Epidemic range, while also keeping it away from the Reaper. Due to all these jobs, it turned out to be a squad DPS increase to also provide Banner of Tactics as well as Battle Standard.

    Scourges
    Scourges provided sustain by timing Barrier to maximise Writ/Scholar uptime as well as bringing utility in terms of condi cleanse and Sand Swell for the people taking out the bombs or doing greens. Having two Scourges allowed us to not only alternate the portals to subvert its cooldown, thus ensuring one for each bomb, but also use Epi-bouncing from the Messenger and the Enforcer to further increase DPS.

    Renegades
    Each subgroup had one Renegade with Lasting Legacy to provide Might and Assassin's Presence and one with Righteous Rebel to provide Alacrity. Thanks to the Banner of Tactics, both Righteous Rebel Renegades were able to delay Orders from Above until they swap to Kalla for a DPS gain. Since the RR Renegades each replace one Icerazors Ire with Orders from Above per loop, they played with Thrill of Combat to guarantee a better Writ uptime. All four Renegades were able to relieve the Kiter in the pre-event by killing Dhuum's Messengers with Battle Scars' Lifesteal.

    ​

    We've had great fun working on this kill and once again do it by using a new composition. See you next time! <3

    Squad names in big groups are annoying. Is there still no option to turn it off?

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 02:23 AM PDT

    Is it hard for Anet to give us this option? Because I would assume this is a QoL update many players want.

    ( If they added the option in the menu, please guide me to the goodiegoodies and go easy on me ^^ )

    Starting Guild Wars 2

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 05:58 AM PDT

    Hello everyone.

    I just started playing a couple of days ago, i was tired of the same boring MMORPG for years so it seemed a good time to try and find a fresh start, a new adventure and i think GW2 may be it.

    I went and i also bought the standard edition with all 3 expansions so with End of Dragons that's comin early 2022 if i'm not wrong.

    I have noticed that the game also has DLC's with the living stories, those have to be bought with gems or they get unlocked once i reach level 80?

    I was checking the store and i also noticed that i can upgrade the editions to digital deluxe, is there anything worth in those compared to the standard ones?

    The King and Queen’s Horrorween Returns October 30

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 12:00 PM PDT

    What's the deal with this new character in the Labyrinth?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2021 09:38 AM PDT

    Unlike every other Halloween event, Anet recently updated the Labyrinth, adding in some new characters (and a bit of updated lore), to spice up this year's round.

    However one of the new NPCs introduced has a fair bit of dialogue and if what she's spouting out is true, then it would have been interesting to know who this character was in their earlier time.

    There's several lines that it speaks such as the following:

    Madame Cookie: (clears throat) "Meow."
    Madame Cookie: I once had talons the size of castles! Now I am a cat.
    Madame Cookie: I just want to sleep and make the most of my forced retirement.
    Madame Cookie: "Meo–" Oh, screw it.
    Madame Cookie: [Blech.] Everyone keeps offering me treats. I miss the stench of rotting carnage.
    Madame Cookie: The bindings that keep us trapped in this realm are surprisingly…formidable.
    Madame Cookie: Neither of those fools know what it means to bring a landscape to ruin. I was birthed from chaos.
    Madame Cookie: I brought ruin to thousands! I leveled cities and destroyed civilizations…and yet [hah!], here I sit.
    Madame Cookie: [Euech.] I'd just gotten used to Thorn's banter, but now I have to listen to that undead sack of dragon bile as well? [Blech!] (coughing) …Hairball.

    Several guildmates and some fan sites have speculated it could have possibly been Zhaitan while others write it off as a one time character who's just senile.

    Question

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 07:47 AM PDT

    I get %50 discount code for gw2 path of fire & heart of thorns package. But im afraid of game will come steam and my friends probably play via steam. Game devs said "existing Guild Wars 2 player accounts cannot be accessed via Steam " so i cant connect my account with steam. and we dont have any release date.

    What would you recommend wait steam release or buy now.

    Shadow of the Mad King Noob: What to Buy?

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 07:12 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    I am new to GW2 (have a lvl 40 Thief) and I only have a few hours here and there to grind out some loot bags for this event.

    As someone who isn't interested in cosmetics this year, what should I look to buy? For example, the 20 slot bags and maybe the candy corn node could be good.

    Is there anything else I should be looking at to get my account up and going? What would be some useful stuff to get from this event?

    I'll probably only grind out a handful of candy corn cobs myself, buy a few through the auction house, etc. so I won't be able to go hard for really expensive stuff.

    Any help would be appreciated and see you all in the Lab!

    EDIT: I have the EOD Ultimate Edition and a Candy Corn Gobbler if that helps you in any way.
